still at Brussels , keeping track of the trans

French. President Andrews is in Paris ,
Messrs. Cannon mid MeCroary nro soinc-

legislative duties made it desirable for him
to be back in Washington , since ho got no
holiday vacation. Ills secretaries , Messrs.
Morgan and Hale , returned with him. lie
will remain in Now York until the llrst of
next week nnil then go to Washington.
Senator Allison brings the first full report
of the proceedings of the monetary confer
ence. It is likely that the senator's views
and the reports ho makes to his colleagues
in congress will have weight enough to shape
whatever financial legislation there may bo
between now and March .
< ! iiv - l uropn Food Tor Thought.
The senator docs not say so , yet it seems
pretty clear that the American delegates
made their European associates understand
that the United States was not appearing in
the vole of a suppliant , dependent to ilium to
save it from silver , arid that it was not seek
ing merely to unload the contents of count
less silver mines on Europe. It 's believed
that the Kuropean governments have been
given food for thought that ; nay convince
them that they have an intoivst in common
with this country.
On one phase of current financial discussion
Senator Allison's observations will bo received -
ceived with deep attention. His views re
garding gold shipments from this countrj
are reassuring. While , as ho himself says ,
his observations among the financial men ol
Europe were necessarily limited , ho was in a
position to learn something of the real
causes of the gold outflow from the UnileJI
States , and ho ascribes these to politicu
rather than to commercial causes. Ho does
not think they can bo talcin as an indication
that the United States is drifting toward ji
silver basis , or that Kuropean sentiment sc
regards them witlioul qualification.
His opinion about Secretary Foster's
proposition to increase the gold reserve in
the treasury will also carry weight. Scmiloi
Allison discussed the whole subject of tin
conference.
lu answer to the question of the corre
Hpondcnt. "What are the immediate re
suits of the conference' " ho replied :
J'or tlit ! Tut nro of Silver.
"It may bo said that the gather

yowl that which naturally flowed from :
consideration of the important topic of tin
conference by eminent men who wcro abli
for u month to give exclusive considcratioi
to this subject without other questions in
lervening. "
"Tho adjournment in some quarters ha :
been taken as an indication of the ullimut
failure for the conference. Do you show i
in that light ! "
"I rcgtitd the meeting May ! ! 0 as incvit

"From your experience in the conference
Senator Allison , what would you say is th
prospect for silver ? In other words , what i
the future of silver' "
"Tho future of silver depends upon'wha
the people do. If the United States shal
cease to purchase silver , and if India close
its mints to silver , and the conference at it
adjourned mooting shall make no arrangi :
incuts for a monetary union or coi :
current legislation looking to the 01 :
largemunt of the use of silver , the
silver must bo relegated to use h ,
nations , who require the smallest snbdivia

that event It would seem clear that th
value of silver must suffer a still further dc

"Waa thcro any public expression In tl
conference us to whether the leading uutloi
of Europe , such as England , Franco and
Germany , would bo willing to open their
mints to the free coinage of silver on an
agreed ratlol"
"Karly In the conference the Ocrmnn dele
gates stated In substance that Germany was
satisfied with Its monetary policy , and , that
whilst they would listen attentively to every
suggestion and report faithfully to their
government , they were not at liberty to
support any proposition that vjould In-
volvo. a change In its monetary policy.
Later on it was slated by one of
the dclegalcs from Great Britain , as 1 now
remember , Sir Illvors Wilson , that whilst
England took a lively Interest in every propo
sition looking to an Increase in the value of
silver and looking to Its enlarged monetary
use , England was not prepared to say it
would bo willing to change from the gold
standard which has prevailed since 1S1G.
"loiter on M. Tirard , the llrst delegate
from France , and who was lately appointed
minister of finance , who also spoke for the
Latin union , stated in substance that France
and the Latin union took a great Interest in
any iilan and project which would have the
result to increase the value of silver , since
they have largo quantities of It in circulation
and in reserve as money , but now France
was able to use its coined silver in domestic
circulation , and that it had a complete sup
ply of gold for Its bank reserve and for
international money use , and inas
much as it occupies a central ixtsitlim
among European states , as respects commerce
and products that It was not prepared to enlarge -
largo Its use of silver until the commercial
states surrounding it wore also prepared to
use silver , at/ least to the extent now used by
France. That it has more silver In use ner
capita of population than any country In
Europe and quite as large as that of the
"United States , and that it found no great
inconvenience because of such use , and
therefore until England was ready to open
Its mints to the use of silver , Franco must
remain content with Its present situation. "
riiin * Tlmt Weru Considered.
"Will you give an outline of the plans pro
posed by the European delegates and dis
cussed by the conference ! "
"Several plans were submitted by Euro
pean delegates , notably otn ; by Mr. Alfred
do Hotbschllds , another by Mr. Tutjen ot
Denmark , another by Mr. Allard of Bel
gium , and various modifications of what is
known as the plan of Hr. Soother. Mr.
Montellore-Lovy , the presiding ofllcer of the
conference , also presented a proposition
which was known as the Hankers Magazine
plan of London. In addition to these there
were a number of suiriteslhms in possession
of-dolegates to the conference that were not
formally presented , prepared by experts in
monetary science , such as the plan of Prof.
Wolff of Zcurieh. These plans were all of a
complex nature , requiring new legislation in
every government and seemed to bo rather
difficult of execution , BO that none of them
were discussed in detail. All of them wore
ordered to bo printed , and at the final ad
journment were referred to the several gov
ernments for examination. The plan of Mr.
do Rothschilds' and some oC the other plans ,
notably that of Dr. Soother , were considered
by a eommiUeo and were reported back to
the conference us bring worthy of careful
examination and study , but without rocoui-
\Vlml Kiithsi'hlliN VropoKod.
"Mr. Kothsc-hilds'
plan was regarded as
Inadmissible by the American delegates ,
he-cause it imposed upon the United States
the purchase of 54,000,000 ounces of sllvei
per annum for live years without limit as to
price , whilst the Kuropean states were re
quired to purchase only i'.O.OOO.OOO pel
annum during the same period at a maxi
mum of 43 pence an ounce , and when
the price advanced beyond ! : ( pence ,
purchases were Jo bo suspended nnel
not to begin again until the piice fell tc
that maximum. The Rothschilds' proposition
did not contemplate that thcso purchases b.v
European states should require Iho full
monetary use of the " : imount purchased. It
was disclosed lhat for an average of say live
years the leading European states hud used
in subsidiary coinage an annual average ol
about 20.000,000 ounces of silver , so that the
Kothschilds' proposition really involved onlj
the lulling of 10,000,000 ounces in addition tc
the amount they had used annually on ar
average for the last llvo years. Most ol
the other plans pw-sonted wcro plans more
or less based on ideas suggested by Dr.
Soother. "
' Will you outline the prhu-lpal of Dr.
Soother ? "
Dr. Suctlier'n Proposals.
' Dr. Soother , " icpltfrt Senator Allison
' had given great attention to this subjcc
and , as is well known , regarded as of tin
utmost importance to HCCUI-O the world's ex
changes the full use of both gold and sllvc :
as money. lie hnel suggested tin
ratio of SJO to 1 ua a ration that mitrh
bo acceptable , but ho suggested as :
basis of an international monetary iifroomcu
a fixed weight of pure gold as a unlvcisa
and solo foundation and normal measure o
currency of the world. Then ho proposci
that all gold coins under the'JO franc pieci
or under the pound sterling or under th' '
20 mark piece should bo withdrawn
and that in all countries silver shouli
bo substituted. That every governmen
should be ! obliged to accept thes
silver coins in any amount , and thn
all banks and private persons should ucccp
them lo the full amount of three times th
value of the smiille-st gold coins thus lo b
Issued. There were some other provisions
yet thcso are perhaps the major ones. Bu
it did further provide that no notes shouli
bo Issued upon bar silver .by any governmen
or under the authority of any government.
"Did Dr. Soother's planseem to boon

Involved ( in-ill C'liiin cn.
"The plan of Dr. Routbar was undoubtedl ;
prepared by him with great euro and in con
nection with its publication ho gave reason
in support of it , but it doubtless had no

Then ho took another look through his
glasses at the belated steamship. There
vas no mistaking the big black hull and the
clean outlines of the Cunurd racer. She was
sharply defined in the clear moonlight.
Smoke was rolling from her enormous red
funnels , and it w.is plain that Captain
McKay had carried his point and was brlng-
ng the Umbria Into port under her own
steam. She was steaming directly for
Sandy Hook-leaving a long white wave as
icr crow drove her on toward her destina
tion.
Through the operator's glass ofllcers
could be seen on her bridge and everything
seemed to be proceeding as usual on board
the vessel. Passengers could also bo seen
moving about , although they wcro not nu
merous , and the majority of the weary
voyagers wcro probably safe in bed and
asleep.
That their sleep was sweet after the

Nnw YORK , Dec. IU ) . Captain Duck of the
Mnnhnnsclt , which arrived from Hristol
today , reports that on December 20 at 1 : ; ! 0
o'clock p. m. , in latitude 42.50 , longitude
57.0o , ho spoke to the Cmuirdor Umbria ,
lying to with three sea anchors out , repair
ing1 her shaft. She expected to finish the re
pairs the next day and wished to be reported
all well. When seen by the Gallilco on De
cember 5W the Umhria was in latitude -13.5'J ,
longitude UO.fiS , a position further west than
when she was seen by the Manhansett.
It was about fi o'clock in the afternoon
December 2(5 ( , the day after Christmas , the
steamship Manhansett , out eleven days from
Swansea , bouiul for Now York and pound intj
along on a heavy gale , with the wind kick
ing up a mean sea , first sighted the disabled
steamship Umbria laboring In the trough of
the sea , rising and falling , ploughing under
walls of foam and drifting before the heavy
galo.
Saw She Was In Ulitve.ss.
The first mate was iij charge of the Man-
hansctt ut the time , and he soon made out
that all'was not well with the black hull :
lying silently over against the leaden sky.
The vcssell lay to the south of the Manhan
sett , about ilvo miles out of her course , but
in a moment it was "call all hands , " and the
bells in the rooms of all the other oflicerf
jingled in a moment. Captain Duck and
Second Mate Ellis wore on deck immediately ,
Their oycs wcro at the glass , and they , too ,
decided that all was not well with t ho vessel
which now begun lo grow larger and to come
nearer as the helm of the Manbansott was
put down and the steamship swung her nose
around to the south. The Manhansett , with
some of the northwest gale that was at thai
time blowing for all it was worth , went
hurrying over the wavy course atbreak-nccli
speed. Soon the Manhansett came neai
enough to her to make out her name and tc
sco these on board.
The men on the Manhansett saw that she
was the Umbria and thai she was un
doubtedly under Iho weather. She did not
look badly hurl , however. She had no holes
in her sides and no masts gone , no flapping
sails banning in shreds , no injury to hei
rudder. Thcro was no list to her and slit
looked Just as it was afterwards learned tc
bo true merely laying to to make repairs.
The Cunarder had no signals of distress
set and she carried no sails. She had cast
three sea ancbor.s over the bow and she was
doing her best to keep her nose up to the
wind , She was bobbing up and down in the
water. All things considered she was dohif.
well. The sea anchors , great heavy affairs
tied to many hundreds of yards of rope
dragged along in the water and kept hei
nose up. She drifted a little with the gale
but not much. She did not look badly ofl

The Manhan&olt showed an unsworini

The Cunarder signaled "Heady tomoi

The Mnnlmnsett asked If any nssistanc

Then the Manhansott bade farewell to th
disabled ghnt , the passengers waived thol
handkerchiefs gloomily and the smallo

sea.

miles cast of Sandy Hook so that she ha
drifted considerably before the northwes
g.ilo that was blowing.
Hardly hud the Manlui'isett left th
Cunardor before a steamship with thro
musts and a tingle fcinoko stack , rod , with

Ellis and lirecn of the Munh.insult said the ,
thought this vessel to be a Cunarder boun <

much hko a Cunarder , but It Is thought sh
might have been one of Saturday's vessel
from this port. The vessel talked with th
disabled steamship for uomo time and the
went on.
Nut lu Any Danger.
It has , therefore , been cone'luded that th
Umbria was not badly damaged uud thatsb
did not break her mnm shaft , because had
she done so she could hardly have assured
the Manhansott that Sno would bo ready to
proceed In a day.
Agent Vernon Brown , of ; the Cunnrd line
said this afternoon , lii speaking of the fate
of the Umbria : '
" 1 cannot llml wojds strong enough with
which to praise the course or action taken
by Captain McKay. ! know that there has
been some erltlclSn because of his refusal
to accept all proffered aid , but I consider
that In so doing , he has shown himself to be
nman of great discretion. Ho certainly
showed wonderful sagacity It declining all the
assistance that was offered to him.
"Suppose , for Instance , that ho accepted
assistance from either the Galileo Moravia ,
or Munhansctt. Suppose also that with the
Umbria In tow of either of these vessels ,
the gale which had been blowing
from the northwest for the last week ,
shifted to the cast , it would not bo anytinng
unusual if the tow hawser should part. In
lhat case what could the Umbria do to save
lorself. Her. machinery would be disabled.
She would bo on a lee shore In n gale of wind
mil nothing in the world could save her from
lestructlon and her passengers from death.
nstcad of that , however , Captain McICay
efuses assistance , 3es to 800 miles from
shore , where he can drift and drift without
letting into dangers and repair his machln-
TV. so that when he docs near the shore he
vlll have his ship under full control. This
lenotcs good seamanship.
Under Command of a Good Suitor. '
"The Umbria now has the whole Atlantlo
o drift in and if the storm gets too strong
'or her , she can take In her sea anchors ,
which servo to keep her head to the wind ,
lolst sail , turn her stern to the wind and
. 'im from the storm. 1 am now thoroughly
convinced that the Umbria is all right and
will como into this port in perfect safety
within u short time. Captain McKay has
shown himself to bo a man of great caution
md ability , and I know that in his hands
: ho Umbria and all on board her are per
fectly safe. "
The Dutch tank steamship Ocean , Captain
Classen , from Amsterdam , which arrived this
morning , reports that on December 20 , at
noon in latitude -lO.-tt ) , longitude tvr.KJ , she
, > assod a steamship which was hovc-to , ap
parently the Cunard steamship Umbria. It
was blowing a furious'galo from Iho west at
the time. The steamship showed no flags of
distress.
Quito a ( lent of steamships arrived at the
[ iprt last night and this morning. Each ar
rival was scanned with great interest in the
liopoa that it might have the overdue Urn-
lirla in tow , Chief among these was the
steamship Lahn of the North German Lloyd
line. She passed aboul six miles north of
the spot whore Iho Cunu : der was seen on
Christmas evening. It was not , therefore ,
considered remarkable that she did not see
the missing steamship. , The Lahn had a
very tempestuous voyage.
Other arrivals vcp'ortctl early were the
Chicago. City of BristoLof the Bristol City
line , and thu Lepantoof IhoAVilson line , from
Hull. The last mimed was twenty-two days
out and nearly a week overdue. There was
also the Kegcnu , the Carmarthenshire and
the Ocean.

NO RESPECT FOR THE COURT
Independents Determined to Ignore the

DECISION IN THE KNOX-BOYD CONTEST

Accordingly lrepnreil.
Nob. , Dec. 80 , Special Telegram
to Tun Hon. ] At fi o'clock this evening the
supreme court handed down Its decision In
the Boyd-Kno.x contested election case. The
decision came in the form of an order to
County Clerk Van Camp of Knox county ,
directing him to select two disinterested
electors and compare the abstract of
votes cast in both Knox and Boyd counties
and to Issue the ccrtillcato of election to the
legislative candidate having the majority of
the votes cast at the last election in both
counties. In this decision Justices Post and
Norval concur , but Chief Justice Maxwell
dissents , and the grounds upon which Iho
chief justice bases his dissent cannot bo
learned , us the opinion has not yet been filed
with the clerk of the court.
J. H. Naiden , a b.illiff of the supreme
court , will leave for Niobrara tomorrow
morning at 7 o'clock. If the train is not de
layed ho will arrive at Verdlgreo at 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. From Verdi-
groo lie will bo compelled to drive overland
to Niobrara , a distance of fouitecn miles.
If the b.illlir can find County Clerk Van
Camp tomorrow evening ho will hand him a
copy of the court's mandate , signed by Chief
Justice Maxwell. Then , if there is no un
necessary delay , a ccrtiileate of election will
necessarily bo delivered to Chester Norton ,
the contestant , and that gentleman will bo
able to assist the republicans in the organi
zation of the legislature next Tuesday.
Mtiy Not Kind Van Ciimn ,
But the chances are that the bailiff will
not be able to introduce himself to County
Clerk Van Camp tomorrow evening. The
leading independents have anticipated the
decision of the supreme court and three days
ago an arrangement was made with Iho
Knox county ofllclal through n foxy , but
none tho. less prominent attorney of
Niobrara , Everything depends on delay In
the estimation of the independents hero.
All of the leaders of that party have but ono
thing to say tonight. They assert that
Kruso will bo given his scat by virtue of the
ccrtillcato ho already hold , the decision of
the supreme court to the contrary notwith
standing.
Chairman Blake of the independent state
central committee said to TUB Br.is repre
sentative tonight : "Kruso will be sealo.l
you may bo sure of that. " Shrader said :
"You know my opinion of the Nebraska
supreme court. Wo propose to see to it that
Kruso bus bis scat.1
Both men express the sentiments of every
independent hero tonight. The decision has
tntcnslflcti1hdrsUuntloii. * . "For'tllS-first time-
since the members hiivo arrived they have a
point to rally around. To say that the in
dependents are indignant is placing a mild
interpretation upon the feelings they so
freely express.
The supreme court is denounced on all
sides for its partisanship , and the decision
in the Clay county case in which the inde
pendents had the advantage , and which
came in for so much of their commendation
had been forgotten.
liulcpi'ndi'iits Caucus.
The independent members of the legisla
ture now on the ground held their llrst cau
cus in the parlors at the Lindell hotel this
evening , commencing shortly before 1) ) o'clock ,
about twenty-five members being
present. George Blake , chairman of
the independent state central com
mittee called the caucus to order
and it was at once voted to admit the promi
nent loaders of the party. Where
upon Chairman Blake Insinuated himself
through the lobby and Invited the loaders
into the feast. Among these who who re
sponded to the invitation wore Judge Hust
ings of Wllbcr ; Judge. Allen of Madison ; C.
H. Picrtle , Mayor Weir and J. V. Wolfe , all
of Lincoln ; H. C. Druesdon of Nebraska City ;
William Dcch of Ithaca ; W. C. Green of
Kearney ; Judge Neville of North Phitle ,
and Dr. Craig of Beatrice.
When the gentlemen had gained the room
the doors were closed and a guard stationed
at the entrance. The members wcro some
what reticent about expressing their views ,
but the loaders were not so diflldent. W.
L. Greene of Kearney , who Is- trying to en-
tlco the wary independents. Into u United
States s6natorlul corral of his own construc
tion , led off In his Usual impasslomituly-olo-
quent manner. Ho advocated fussibn with
the democrats and lots of it.
.Iiulgo Allen's \Vornt I'Viitiiro.
Ho was followed by sturdy Judge Allen of
Madison , against whom the worst th.it can
bo said Is that ho has a face thai strikingly
reminds one of Paul Vnudorvnort. There
was nothing noticeable Itbout his address ,
but ono Incident occurred that for a moment
nearly peoipitated a riot. P.iiibing a moment ,
the judge exclaimed : "Look at the republi
cans ; what are they going to do1 !
His stentorian tones aroused Speaker
Elder from his customary lethargy for a
moment , and ho answered : '
to beat us. "
Mayor Weir of Lincoln descantoifS
beauties of fusion , and so did Deoh , 1
and State Lecturer Fiilrchlld.
Dr , Craig of Beatrice was in n similar
frame of mind. Ho staled that ho hnd.beoii
working at this thing fora long time and he
was confident of the success of the seihomo.
"I know what I'm ' talking about , " said ihc
doctor. "I was a republican myself once ,
and I don't need no sandpaper to shape my
head. "
Stcvi'ln Ojijioied Fusion.
Slovens of Fflrnas rounty was the one
bright mid. shining opponent of the idea ol
fusion. Ho was not in favor of fusing wltli
the democrats under any circumstances
Finally a motion was put and carried -will
ono or two dissenting votes , that all honor
able methods bo used to 'otTcct a fusion bo
twccn the independents and Iho democrats
for the purpose of organizing the legislature.
Then the leaders filed out , leaving the mom
hers to work out their own political Salvador
without further restraint ,
The Lindell hotel is the only scene of pa
liticnl activity tonight , Congressmen 13ry.ii
and MeKcliihaii wore both busy all evening

tained errors of history and fact. On this
charge Iho vote was ns follows : To sustain
Iho charge , 01 ; against. ( W.
After this vote had been taken two or
three of the antl-Briggs men left the court
and others refrained from voting on the last
three charges.
On the fourth charge , accusing Prof.

KhoihiMio and AnipuHoo Iiftlluus Having u
Dispute.
LANnnn , WJ'i Dl'cHO. . Trouble that may
lead to war between Iho two Indian tribes is
now brewing among tjtii Arapahoe and
Shoshoucs , who occupy Ibo/'Shoshono reser
vation near this city. Last year congress
appointeel u commission to treat- with the
Shosbones for a part of their reservation ,
and subsequently n treaty was entered into
by which the government was to receive
one-half of the Indian lands. This treaty
failed of ratification at Washington , and anew
now commission was appointed , which will
soon reopen the negotiations.
The Avupahoes declare that they will have
nothing lo do with the new commission ,
while the Shosbones are willing to ccdo a
part of their reservation , and assert that the
former tribe has no ownership in the lands.
Chief Washuklo of the Shoshones says that
several years ago the secretary of the in
terior placed the Arapahoos on the Shoahono
reservation temporarily unlil other lands
could bo found for them. The chief is very
angry over the treatment received from thu
government , especially In the recognition of
the Arapahoes ns first owners of the reserva
tion. If. necessarj to protect himself ,
Washakio will lead his brave.s against the
Arapahoes , Ho Is friendly toward the white
settlers , and la the event of war It Is not
thought that ho will molest thorn , The set-
tiers nro decidedly In sympathy with the
